This guide is about Perth in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Scots search for "kennels" far more than for "dog boarding", and home boarding is the alternative: your dog stays with one sitter in a house in Bridgend, Kinnoull, Letham, Tulloch or nearby.

Reading a kennel quote
Kennels often price per dog per day, and some charge more for large dogs or extra walks. Ask for a written total that covers your drop-off and collection days, then ask a sitter for the same dates. Ask the sitter how many walks your dog gets and where.
Rodney Gardens sits by the Tay, a short walk from the centre.
Licensing
In Scotland, dog boarding is licensed by the council under the
Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963, including boarding in a private home. In Perth that is Perth and Kinross Council. Ask a boarder to show you their licence before you book.
Book before the Scottish summer
Scottish schools break up for summer in late June, weeks before England's, so book early if you travel then. Compare home boarders on
